I’m unbothered with ‘noise from children’ calling for my resignation-PDP chairman

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu said he has four years in office, and is not bothered with “noise from children” who are calling for his resignation.

Members of the camp of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike have listed Ayu’s resignation as one of their conditions for working with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar at the 2023 general elections.

But reacting in an interview on BBC Hausa, Ayu said his election as PDP chairman isn’t affected by Atiku’s victory.

“I was voted as PDP chairman for a four-year tenure and I am yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution,” he said.

“I didn’t commit any offence. I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks.

“When we started the PDP journey, we did not see these children. They are children who do not know why we established this party.

“We will not allow one person to come and destroy our party.”
